Hello, I'm Ed Butler and welcome to Business Daily from the BBC.

Today, the technology that's allowing us to manipulate things just by the power of thought.

People who are disabled can control their wheelchair with their minds.

And we had a case where a person drove a Formula One car with a mind.

Yep, you may have thought that it was sci-fi,

but mind-reading tech is with us,

and the implications for the future could be scary.

If you're unable to have freedom of thoughts,

if you're unable to think dissident or creative

or any kind of thoughts,

that's the direction that we're going,

unless we create safeguards for individuals.

The technology and the economics of mind reading.

That's Business Daily from the BBC.

Well, you find me now down in southeast London in the bowels of one of the many buildings of Goldsmith's college in London University.

I've come to a psychology research lab here,

and they are getting ready to carry out an experiment.

Any guess what kind?

That's it.

They're mind reading.

Sorry, what's your name?

Jack Moore.
